Answer:

1/6x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

"Simplify" generally means, "eliminate parentheses and combine like terms." In general, parentheses are eliminated by making use of the distributive property.

$\dfrac{2}{3}x-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}x+1\right)=\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{1}{2}x-1=\left(\dfrac{2}{3}-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)x-1\\\\=\left(\dfrac{4}{6}-\dfrac{3}{6}\right)x-1=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{6}x-1}$
